For roast potatoes, it’s amazing. Fondant potatoes, I’d imagine it is similarly better than butter or oil. However, it would be wasted on a regular stir fry, for instance.
The other reply pretty much sums it up. Use it in lieu of butter, not vegetable oil.
Any instance you’d use schmaltz or beef tallow, duck fat can be used without issue. Though I know they deep fry potato wedges in the stuff in Frendh Canada… I just don’t have that much fat at once to use it for deep frying haha
Fish fragrant eggplant
Mapo tofu
Dumpling soup
Chicken veggie stir fry
Fondant potatoes (fried in duck fat mmmm)
Beef bourguingon (or whatever it’s called, the wine meat stew)
Black bean soup
French onion soup
Ropa vieja (with chicken)
I could go on but that’s what comes to mind quickly.
I’ll be there in an hour.
How is frying with duck fat compared to other fats?
